SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. That there are thousands of individuals in the border States enrolled, and ready on the slightest encouragement to advance into Canada, is, we believe, quite certain ; but we must again repeat, it by no means follows that any of the men so enrolled will ever cross the lines. The most reckless of the desperadoes who are ready to join the French, will wait to see whether they can matte any stand against the armed force ; for they will not be so foolhardy as to advance on the mere chance of the insurrection at taining consistency in some quarter or other. If, then, the dispositions of the Government, aided by the British popu lation, be so judicious that the French arc not suffered so to strengthen themselves on any point as to afford some thing like a reasonable prospect to the bands in the United States that they would meet with co-operation in Canada, the insurrection will be crushed in the bud. We are inclined to think that, notwithstand ing all the plans and preparations, there really will be no insurrection. If, however, the armed force in the province were not so great as it is, the chances cer tainly are that the French would make the attempt now. They are aware that if they do not achieve their indepen dence and separate nationality now they must renounce the hope for ever. They know that having openly avowed that under the forms of representative Government they were aiming at independence, the British Government must of necessity either at once abandon the province or take im mediate steps for making the colony thoroughly British. In an article in the forthcoming number of the London and Westminster R ev i ew , w hi c h we have received, and in which we recognise a writer deservedly held in high esteem, the conduct of Lord Durham and his opponents is discussed at considerable length. The reviewer has, however, in our opinion, been much more successful in justifying the steps taken by Lord Durham on arriving in Canada, than sagacious in the views which he takes of the Canadian question. We agree with him that the measures of Lord Durham, which were on the point of completion when his career was cut short, were of first-rate importance ; but allowing that " though the leaders of parties have generally unworthy objects in view, their followers, as it has often been said, have always honest ones," the followers may be very prejudiced as well as very honest, and " the large and solid schemes of colo nization and internal improvement " entertained by Lord Durham, struck such a blow at one of the prejudices most fondly cherished by the French Canadians, that they ought to be considered as a separate nation, entitled to maintain their " institutions, their laws, and their lan guage," in their p rov i nce , t h at t h ey could never have been made palateable to them. The views of the French and English colonists were so opposed to each other, that it is impossible to adopt any course acceptable to both. It was exceedingly proper in Lord Durham to act towards all parties in a spirit of conciliation and forbearance ; but we hold it to be one of the wildest delu sions ever entertained to suppose that Lord Durham, or any other individual, could have obtained the support of the French Canadians one moment after his plans of re form became known. Lord Durham is a man of too de cided a character to suppose, like Lord Gosford, that his mission was to say fine things merely to the two parties ; and as his measures, we really believe, were substantive, the very first could have no other effect than to array against him the " nation Canadienne." The writer alludes to some of the means by which he supposes Lord Durham might have gained over the French Canadians : " Passing now from what is known of Lord Durham's projects to what is only believed, to the scheme, so far as yet matured, which he is understood to have bad in view for the future constitution of the colony ; this, too, so far as anything is known of it, is constructed upon the same great principle of impartial justice ; the removal of all real evils ; the satisfaction of the just demands of either side. The French sought to be freed from the incubus of a Legislative Council, a second chamber, representing neither the English nor the French population, neither the colony nor the mother coun try, but possessing a veto on every proposal emanating from either, and which it actually exercised against measures equally desired by both. From this grievance it is under stood that Lord Durham was prepared to relieve them.* The English complained that the French of Lower Canada, by their majority in the House of Assembly, possessed a. veto on all measures which concerned the five colonies col lectively ; that the navigation of the St. Lawrence, the roads and canals, the post-office and custom regulatio n s, of all British A mer i ca , were un d er the control of a portion of the people of one colony, who had no goodwill, it was af firmed, either to commerce or colonization, and who, aim ing at a separate nationality, were rather hostile than friendly to the improvement of the purely British provinces. Lord - Durham's plan took such affairs entirely out of their cognizance, and placed them and all matters of common concernment under a federal body, to be chosen by all the provinces, and subject in the same manner, with the local legislatures, to the veto of the mother country. This project, the principle of which so exactly met the difficulties of the case, that every one who has sincerely applied his mind to an amicable adjustment has hit upon it—that for a moment it united the suffrages of Mr. Roe buck and of Lord John Russell—had the further advan tage that it was the only legitimate means of destroying the so-much-talked-of-nationality of the French Cana dians. It would compel them to consider themselves, not as a separate family, but an integral portion of a larger body ; it would merge their nationality of race in a na tionality of country ; instead of French Canadians it would make them British Americans ; and this without bringing into their house and home, into their social and domestic relations, the customs of another people (which, whether practised on all of them or on a part, would be one of the last excesses of despotism), or establishing, as hitherto, over not only their necks but those of the English popu lation, a petty oligarchy of the latter. • • • • • • • • • " On the very day preceding that which brought the news of his retirement, the chief newspaper organ, at once of the Ministry and of the English Canadian party, ful minated an anathema against his plan of a federal Legis lature ; and it is some consolation for the abrupt close of his government when we see that, however wisely his plans might have been formed, he would not have been suffered to carry them." With all due submission to the writer in the London and Westminster Review, Lis federal plan is liable to the objec tion of being impracticable. His statement of the objects of concernment common to the different colonies is founded on defective information. Two only of the co lonies, Upper and Lower Canada, are so connected together by the St. Lawrence that they can be said to have objects of common concernment of such mo ment as he describes ; and it would be impossible, as we have already stated, in the present state of the colonies, and for a long time to come, to unite all the colonies by any other bond than the common connection with the parent State. But we never supposed that Lord Durham himself ever seriously countenanced any such plan of federation ; and we are sure, at all events, that the moment he fairly applied his mind to it he would see the objections to which it was open. It was the business of Lord Durham to listen to.all manner of projects ; and we need hardly observe many a great man receives credit with projectors for favouring their nostrums merely because they do not at once reject them. The apology for Lord Durham's proclamation is ingenious, and as it is proper that all parties should be heard, and we have already ex pressed our own sentiments distinctly on the subject, we shall allow the London and Westminster Reviewer to de fend the proclamation : " We wonder that those who are in so much haste to call the proclamation inflammatory, do not ask themselves what there was for it to inflame ? Whether all upon whom the topics introduced into it could have any inflammatory effect were not already roused to such a pitch of indignation that the calm though feeling manner in which their senti ments were responded to by the Governor-General was more calculated to temper than to add fuel to the fire ? It can hardly be supposed that those who hanged Lords Brougham and Melbourne in effigy, and who voted the addresses and passed the resolutions of which such multitudes have reached us, waited to form their opinion on tae affront to Lord Durham until he told them that it was one. His address was no appeal' to them ; their sentence was already pronounced. The whole scope and object of the proclamation has been carelessly misapprehended. It was not a complaint : there was no more complaint in it than was unavoidable. Its purpose, its declared purpose, was to explain the reasons of his re tirement. All the addresses, all the resolutions, were soli citations to him to retain the government. The proclama tion was his answer. " If the only use of making this explanation had been to gratify personal feelings, by guarding his motives from mis construction, then, as the re would have been no public good r o to be attained, private s entiments, however creditable, might have found a more appropriateasa ex private channels. But it was not mere matter through of u g indi vidual f ee li ng that it was important for him to retain the confidence o f a ll among the Canadian people who had be stowed it upon him. Thongh b nn longer their Governor, his connection with them was not to cease ; u pon him it was to devolve t o wa t c h over t h e i r i n t e rests in England he was the only man i n th e ki ng d om o f fi rs t r ate politicalinfluence, the only man ev e r th oug ht o f as a Mi n i s t e r, or as a party who did not at that moment stand convicted, in the minds, of those whom he was addressing, of the grossest ignorance of all the circumstances of the colony, and the most pre sumptuous incapacity in legislating for it. When this last • It has been recently asserted that this part of Lord Dur ham's plan has been given up. we should most deeply la went such an abandonment, and are convinced that it could only have been thought of, if at all, as a concession to sonic imaginary necessity. But the statement does not rest upon authority which entitles it to any credence. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 183 A titled to, and possessed of, every acre of t e rritory north and east of Mars-hill. H o w e ver, w e s hall see after a little whi 6 bow this matter stands. 2. A f ur th e r motive, and equally of a piece With modern Whiggery—that is to say, with meanness and selfishness personified—for overcharging the evils which impend over British North America, would be that of propitiating Lord Durham I There is no baseness from which these men will shrink. It is notorious that they re fused to defend Lord Durham, effectually to defend him, by a vote or resolution in the House of Commons, where they had a majority, expressive of respect for, or confidence in, the views with whi c h h e p u bli s hed his, technically, illegal ordinances. Lord Durham himself reproached " hi s friends," the Mini s ter s , w ith th e i r desertion. His mani festo of the 9th of October is loaded with indications of the bitterness and acrimony which devour him. He never theless comes h ome —h e h as p oss ibly by this time land e d in England fr om th e f as t sa iling frigate in which h e left Quebec on the Ist in s tant, this being the 22d. What happens? The T re asury Journals, which began openly to abuse and ridicule Lord Durhart', appre hended scheme of a f e deration of the six British pro vinces before one w ord wa s known in this country of his intention of throwing up the Government, th ose Journals are now manifestly maricauvring on the opposite tack, deprecating the wrath of the dethroned dic tator, and beseeching him not to do anything so cruel as take part against " his friends," the Ministers. Lay on, Lord Durham, as bard as you like upon that untameable hyena Lord Brougham, and that irredeemable pandemo nium the House of Lords, and that infernal gang of Con servatives in the House of Commons, who, albeit the mi nority there, contrived to carry the bill you complai n of against " your friends," the Ministers i who, having a ma _ jority at their back, made 4 peethes In your ltivOut, but voted dead against you. Lay on, we say, upon the Conser vatives of the empire, from whom you have no right to ask a favour, but who for their own sakes will never be slow to do you justice. Lay on, we repeat, upon them, and on the monarchy ; but, oh ! spare your own unmanly, unfeel ing, and perfidious " friends." Nor would it astonish us to find this prayer put forth by the " shabby" Ministry suc cessful. ‘Ve affirm, that nothing would be more in charac ter than for these worthies to embrace, and be as cordial " friends " as they were before Lord Durham was sent to his dictatorial, or quasi dictatorial, exile. The Royal favourite and the " blubbering boy," under which designa tion, as Court scandal goes, the old ruse man of the world at 'Windsor described Lord Durham, on first communicat ing to a high personage the Dictator's intention to come home—the happy pair, happy in the revival of their dis turbed fraternity, will, as sure as in Joe Hume's arithmetic " black is white," before ten days are over from the date of the Noble Victim's disembarkation, move swimmingly together into the Imperial closet, and in that sacred pro. sence renew their oaths of fealty to each other. Nor is there much time to be lost. For if Lord Durham do not swallow the insults, and accept the submissions, of the Whigs, only see how that precious commodity—a self-dis missing Autocrat—is bid for in other quarters. Why, there are grave writers in this land who deem the abdication of the Noble Despot in no degree less memorable or heroic than that of Washington, and seem to regard him, with unquestionable justice we admit, a far more useful instrument for factious purposes than could have been manufactured out of Wellington and Washington combined. An article of the fourth-coming London and Quarterly Review, which Sir W. Molesworth, we think, some years ago recommended strenuously to the perusal of Members of Parliament—an article in thatßeviewis written apparently for no oth er p urpose t h an to sop Lord Durham, knowing his weak point—t o puff Lord Durh am , an d by plas tering his mortified vanity an inch thick, and bepraising every one of his words and actions, from the day he left England to that of publishing his manifesto —ay, and every letter of the manifesto besides—with an extravagance of fulsomeness which sets laughter itself at defiance—to give the noble des-employe the assurance ex cathedth of a whole army of ultra-Radical philosophers, in number not less than four or five and a fraction, that he (Lord Durham) shall, on being repelled by every other party in England, become their chief, and thus that the stone which all men of common sense have re jected shall become the corner-stone in the temple o f re volution. In a day or two we may perhaps return to the said article, with a view to consider some of the principles or suggestions propounded by it for the government of our North American colonies. At present we have spoken of it in no other light than that of a broad puff of the ex dictator, and a decoy bidding for his services to the cause of Radicalism. God help the writer, though he be of that class who dissertate with unction, who would be thought to keep consciences, and express themselves artfully—albeit they do not so skilfully as to conceal their cunning—but God help him, we repeat, if he fancies there is in Lord Durham one solitary particle of genuine " liberal" stuff— one impulse of tolerance for those who differ from him— one capability of self-denial—one passing breath of aspira tion after equal liberty, or of contempt for power bought by the abandonment of virtue.—Time:. Every foreign mail that arrives brings us some new and more conclusive evidence to establish the correctness of our views, nay, more, of the absolute necessity there is for the Government adopting the most energetic measures to wards supporting Turkey in the rigid enforcement of every article of the new treaty we have concluded with her in con junction with Austria. By letters,which havejust been received from Constantinople, dated the 24th of October, we find, that the Porte, alarmed by the "threats of the Russian nister," and the "formidable preparations being carried on at Sebastopol," had given orders for the men-of-war lying at anchor in the Bosphorus to return into harbour, where they are now actually being dismantled. The reason for this is thus assigned :—" It is more than probable, that satisfied in his own mind that his squadron had remained a sufficient length of time with that of Great Britain, to de monstrate to Europe his earnestness in wishing to be rid of the incubus of Russian protection, his anxiety to secure Turkey the friendship and support of her natural ally, and to prove at the same time, by tangible evidence, to the population of his empire the unsoundness of the belief spread among them by the agents of Russia and Me hemet Ali, as to Great Britain's hostility towards himself, and decided partiality . in favour of his rebellious vassal, the Sultan has deemed it prudent not to add fresh motives to the Emperor's growing displeasure, until he has acquired more valid proofs than those afforded by these mere demon strations of England's readiness and ability to screen him fro,n the consequences of Muscovite resentment." And is it come to this pass, that the capability and inclination of Greatßritain to maintain, by force of arms, if necessary, her treaties, is suspected ? And are our allies, the Turks, to crouch at the fear of the resentment of the Muscovite, because of the want of " valid proofs" of the sincerity of the English nation, and her " readiness and ability" to screen him (the Sultan) from the consequences of Muscovite resentment ? Certainly not ! Let the Ministers of the Crown at once despatch 20,000 British troops to Constan tinople, and a powerful fleet, to be backed by twice, by three times the number, if requisite, and thus give the Sul tan that confidence in our " readiness and ability" to sup port her" natural ally," and protect her from " Muscovite " resentment." This is no time for mincing matters, and if the Ministers do not, without the loss of a minute, take most determined and energetic steps to prevent any evil befalling Turkey from Russian " vengeance," the respon sibility upon their heads will be awfully great. Is it by possibility supposed, that a case half so base as that treaties formed with Turkey, which placed her in an hostile and revengeful position with Russia, that at the time they were formed England was not prepared to maintain Turkey free from ter suche we vilconsequences that m i g ht th ere f rom arise ? Th e hwaayse thequoted case. would, rr he very however, fact appear a the e t o Turkishindi ca t e fleet are actively dismantling in consequence of the " for midable preparations being made at Sebastopol, and in the o m southern provinces o f R uss i a ," h as all the appearance that the have possible a contingencies been provided ntingeticie fa. swhich r might flow t w u confess i ttht of e the treaty that we feel exceedingly anxiou s th a t Mi n i sters should not lose a day in proving to Turkey th a t th ey are determined to t s h u e pp w or h t a h le er va to iae th o e f la th st e exßtrrietmishity.r nation—even fhey hav e w h were heretofore their sternest an d most bittetroesneemwiehso. Yee, they have, with a magnanimity unparalleled, nobly come forward in their support. With t h e Press on their side, what may they not expect to meet with even from their political opponents in the Senate ? Never were Ministers of the Crown of England placed in so en viable and glorious a position ! The whole resources of the empire would readily be placed at their command; and what more could men in power desire ? It appears that the new treaty of England with the Porte, has been objected to be ratified by France. The grounds of this objection are thus set forth : " The French Ambassador had on the 20th inst. (Oct.) an audience of the Sultan. After presentin g the autograph letter, whereby the King of the French announced the birth of the Comte de Paris, Admiral Roussin explained to his Highness the reasons which had prevented him from signing the commercial convention lately concluded be tween the Ottoman and the British Government. The clause inserted in that treaty to render its stipulations ap plicable to Egypt appeared objectionable to th e French Cabinet, which, ever anxious for the preservatio n of peace in the East, saw in the facility granted to England, de priving the Governor of that province of the principal sources of his revenues, the unavoidable cause of fresh hos tilities between him and the Sultan."—Morning Advertiser.

Equit a bl e L oan Company nsl.ob.pd ill. +A. specimen of presumption and incapacity was making the whole British population f both Canadas join with the French Canadians in denouncing the principle of distant colonial government, and the very officials talk familiarly of a separation, was it nothing to show to Canada that there was one British statesman who could understand her Wants and feel for her grievn.nces—that from any councils in the mother country in which he had influence she might expect justice—and that the man, on whose constancy and magnanimity so much depended, was not throwing up his mission from personal disgust, but returning to England because the manceuvres or his enemies had changed the place where he could servo them from Quebec to the House of Lords. " Viewed in this light, it seems to us that the proclama tion, with all in it that has been inveighed against—the un grudging aeknowledgrnew of past misgovernment and pre sent abuses—the disclosure of his generous schemes for the improvement of the laws and administration, and for confer ring On an united people,' not a restricted, but a more ex tensive enjoyment of fro notl responsible government'—so far from needing an apoiogy, points out Lord Durham, be yond almost anything else which he has done, as the fit leader for the great Reform party of the empire. The pro clamation was the necessary complement and winding up of his short administration—tii:t explanation which was due to the people of Canada for the past, And the best legacy which he could leave to them for the future. So far from being inflammatory, it was, in all probability, the only kind of ad dress to the people which, in the then state of men's minds, could have had any healing effect, " As we have said nil along, the main end of his admi nistration was the reconciliation of the two parties, by ex hibiting to both, embodi,d in a series of measures, a policy which, by satisfying the just claims of both, should convince them that there was no necessity for their being enemies— that both might hope fer justice under a Government knowing no distinction between them. If this s the one thing needful, was now debarred him by the mother coun try, was it not the next best thing, since he could not leave healing measures, to leave heeling principles behind him ? Next to doing the noble things spoken of in the proclama tion, to point them out as fit to be done was the thing most calculated—was the one thing calculated—to.restore har mony in the colony. If the policy there chanted but is that on which alene a reconciliation of parties and races can be founded, then, since he could not give them the hope of such a policy ; i n giving them the idea of it, ae a possible thing, as the thing, which they should strive for, instead of separation, or the mere predominance of their own side ; and which, as for as his inflnence reaches, he will yet help them to obtain. " These considerations are still further strengthened if we reflect in what position the disallowance of the ordi nance found Lord Durham with respect to the French Canadians. He had es yet done nothing to redress what they deemed their grlevanees. His plans for their benefit, like all his other plans of general improvement, were yet unfinished ; and they were a people too little accustomed to good treatment from their rulers to give their confidence until earned by actual ly , nefits. Lord Durham had done enough to convince the more intelligent and experienced people of the United St ~tes—not enough to convince the French Canadians. 01 tit~ amnesty, qualified by the ordi nance, they knPw, ilZtt at first what to think ; but when they learnt from the dispatch laid before Parliament that Sir John Colborne and the heads of what is called the British party' had approved of it, from that moment (we know the fat_A,t) the French, though previously undecided, deemed it their part to disapprove of it. This was mere prejudice in them ; if Lord Durham could carry the British party with him in clemency to the French, the greater was the credit due to him ; and having to give an account of his measure in a quarter where lenity was more likely to be imputed to it than se verity, he naturally availed himself of the fact that it had obtained the acquiescence of those whose error was not likely to be on the lenient side. But when we consider how the French Canadians have seen Governor after Go vernor become the tool of the officials, and how seldom the two parties have concurred in approving of the same mea sures, we cannot woraer that a Governor who had done but one great act, and that act in concert, as it now ap peared, with the dominant faction, should not yet have made much progress in attaGhing the other party to his Government. " If, then, Lord Durham had left matters in this state ; if he had departed leaving no explanation to the Cana dians of his principles and of his ulterior purposes, he would have gone away without doing a single act, which could prove to the French population that there existed a British Statesman willing to redress their griev ances, and without giving a single lesson to the English party of what was due to the French. We maintain that surrounded as he was at the last by the English inhabitants —leaving the country amidst the mingled sound of their plaudits and their lamentations, while the bulk of the French Canadians kept sullenly aloof—he had, from all these causes, an appearance of being the man of a party, of giving his countenance to the exclusive principles of a class, which appearance he was bound to throw off—from which it would have been criminal in him not to have taken the most direct means of fr. eing himself. And we foretel that his having done so will yet be found to be the greatest thing yet done to facilitate the settlement of Canada on a basis just, and, therefore, capable of being permanent. The whole English populaton are now committed, as far as the strongest public demonstrations can commit them, to the policy of a man wh ) has told them unambiguously and minutely, and in a manner admitting of no misunderstand ing, that his plans involve full justice to the French Cana dians. They have invested with their confidence, they have acknowledged as their virtual representative, the man who is identified with the principle of the conciliation instead of coercion, of equal justice to all instead of the predomi nance of the few over the many. The English population has stood up openly as a distinct body from the jobbing offi cial clique which has hitherto assumed to be its representa tive ; and it may be hoped that the settlement - of Canada, which they will now exert themselves for, will be conceived under the inspiration of Lord Durham rather than that of the late Legislative Council." This is very ingenious, no doubt ; but we are much mis taken if Lord Durham do not by this time wish that he had not put his enemies in the House of Lords so fully in pos session of his case as he has done in that proclamation. From the moment of its appearance the Tories had their cue ; they made in the Times a dead set at his Lordship, and he had so ingeniously contrived mat ters as to divide the Liberals at the very mo ment be was making it a matter of life or death with the Tories to crush him if they possibly could. But on this subject we will say no more for the present. As to the effect to be produced on the French Canadians by the proclamation, the writer loses sight of the important fact, that what he deems improvements are precisely what will draw down on him the hostility of the French Cana dians. All that Lord Durham proposes runs counter, a s we have said, to their most cherished illusions. When reason is against a man, as old Hobbs said, he will only be the more against reason. We have played too long in Ca nada at the game of cutting blocks with razors. The French Canadians must be made good British subjects in spite of themselves.—Morning Chronicle. The intelligence brought by the Garrick, from New York, is not in itself of the most satisfactory or tranquil lizing nature, and somehow or other it appears to us, from certain correspondence, purporting to be " private," and from certain remarks thrust into the Ministerial News papers, that, as Brother Jonathan would say, it " com ports" with the views of the Whig Ministers rather to make the most of the Cmadian troubles now existing, and thus to back up the deiolating prospects described by Lord Durham as likely to follow from his resignation, than to disparage or undervalue either. Let any discerning per son look through the columns of the Treasury Journals, morning and evening, for the last ten days, and then say whether or not there is a palpable wish to increase whatever uneasiness may prevail with regard to the actual state of Canada. The writers for Downing-street are more con cerned "than surprised." We comprehend the meaning of all this system of manceuvre, for which two motives may be assigned-Ist, an anxiety, quite in character for the Whigs, to prepare the public mind for such a surrender of the rights of England in the settlement of the " boundary question" as would revolt the pride and honour of every man in the community, unless it were made under circum , stancess pressing enough, and desperate enough, to furnish some sort of apology for concessions otherwise too humi liating and disgraceful to be borne. It would in that case be the obvious interest of Ministers to exaggerate and mul tiply to the utmost the dangers wherewith we are sur rounded, both from an insurrection of rebel Frenchmen, and from an auxiliary invasion of lawless United States men, that when a treaty for territorial cession, however dis advantageous or discreditable, came to be laid before the country, the Secretary for Foreign Affairs might be able to apostrophise Parliament a ith a—" See how we were pushed and harassed on all sides ; how could I do more ?" It is indeed believed] in well-informed circles that a shifty patchwork d, scrif,tior; of bargain has been made, or a proposal tendered and acquiesced in, to the effect that a portion of the territory of New Brunswick—that which is acknowledged and recognized by the Americans themselves to be British soil, shdl be transferred to the state of Maine, as the price of our future freedom from molestation on the subject of that which is, but which never ought to have been, " disputed," and which, according to the equitable Great Britain as r i g h t f ully as Lancashire or Yorkshire. interpretation of the spirit of th e treaty signed in 1783, belongs t o We are not less unw illi ng to inflict a wrong u pon the United States, or to withh o ld the redress of a real injury from our lar . l we sho u ld b e to tolerate one at their hands.

(FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.) CHI4ONICLE.—The accounts from Canada are con sidered in the City to be at least exaggerated, if not un founded ; but' no letters have yet come to hand to throw light on the matter. In the mean time the frequenters of the Stock Exchange display some uneasiness, and Consols, consequently, have receded to 93i to 94 for the Account, and 931 to 1 for Money, which is rather lower than yes terday. Exchequer Bills remain at 675. to 695. prem. The " heavy," that is to say the high-priced, foreign se curities are rather lower in consequence of the depression in Consols. We have heard to-day, in quarters where information On such matters especially may be fully relied upon, that the question of boundary between the possessions of Great Britain and North America and the United States, is on the eve of being formally adjusted, and in a manner, it is said, which will give satisfaction to the public on both sides, and be in accordance with the views of the two Governments. It is, in fact, st.'ted that communi cations for some time past S have been going on between Mr. Stephenson, the American Minister, and our Go vernment upon this point, and that it has been determined to appoint a Commission, to decide upon the question, the Government at the same time re conintentling mutually fOr their adoption that the river St. John should form the separating line between the two coun tries, whereby that portion of the province of Maine which the Americans have always claimed will be ceded to us, and a§ an equivalent the coast and territory lying between the rivers St. Croix and St. John, equal in size to what is given up on the other side, will be made over to America. By this means Maine will possess almost an entire water boun dary; and the country between Nova Scotia and Canada 1011 be laid open to us, a point in itself of' the very utmost inantitianee; Mote especially at the present moment, and there can he little doubt that the railway which has often been proposed from Halifax to Quebec, but as often put off in consequence of the state of the boundary question, will soon be carried into effect, by which means it is need less to say a most important and favourable change will be effected in our Canadian trade. That the question of boun dary between our possessions and the United States should at length be adjusted is of itself of the greatest consequence ; not that any serious disagreement between England and America was ever contemplated from the unsettled state of the question, yet it kept up an unpleasant feeling on the borders and often led to local disturbances, and the adjust ment will remove all fear from the minds of alarmists and ill-informed persons as to there being any chance of a colli sion between the two countries. We understand that the ' Executive at Washington approves of the arrangement ; and, indeed, that it was Mr. Forsyth who proposed to Mr. Fox the propriety of appointing a commission, but that the latter referred the matter to the Government at home. There cannot be a more complete answer to the asser tion that there is a disinclination on the part of British ca pitalists and the English public generally to invest in Ame rican securities, than the fact that two State loans were contracted for yesterday, and others are on the tapis. The house of Messrs. Baring, Brothers, have concluded with the State of South Carolina for a loan of 500,0001., to bear five per cent. interest, but the price at which it has been negotiated has not yet transpired. The Mississippi State has made a loan of 250,0001., which-has been taken by various contractors. The principal and interest are payable at the agency of the Bank of the United States in London. It is a five per cent. loan, and it is said to have been taken at 93, with interest from the Ist instant. There has, in fact, been an unusual amount of business transacted lately in the securities of the various States of the American Union, and the circumstance of comparatively small sums having been invested by persons in the country, uncon nected with the United States by business or otherwise, shows that the public are not alarmed by the strenuous ex ertions of our Contemporary the Times to depreciate every kind of American security or credit, and to create appre hensions in the minds of the English as to the validity of the stocks and persons in question. There never was, per haps, an instance of such a wilful perversion of the true state of things, for the purpose apparently of carrying out some personal spite, and there never was an instance of such complete and signal failure. The important circumstance respecting the settlement of the boundary question, alluded to above, is tinother decidedly favourable feature in favour of American secu rities, inasmuch as it sets aside all fear as to peaceful com munications between the two countries not being 'maintained. Messrs. Lizardi have contradicted the report that they had authorised Macnin, the person accused of forgery upon their firm, to sign in their name. We are glad to hear this for their sake, but the contrary was stated and believed by many of their personal friends. As the matter, however, as Messrs. Lizardi state, is likely to come before the Cri minal Court, we shall refrain from saying anything more on this head at present. TIMES.—The price of Gold at I-Jamburgh is 4361 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard Gold, gives an exchange of 13.14 and the course of exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.71, it follows that gold is 1.39 per cent. dearer at Hamburgh than in London. The price of Gold at Paris is Eli per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10Id. per ounce for standard Gold, gives an exchange of 25.361-, and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.42 i, it follows that Gold is 0.24 per cent. lower at Paris than in London.

The activity with which commercial interests are en couraged by the Government in Austria is sufficiently apparent by the late treaty of commerce with this country. As a proof that no less attention is be stowed on matters of less moment, it may be no ticed, that among other enterprises, a company has lately been projected at Trieste under the direct pa tronage of the Imperial Government, called the " So ciety of Industry and Commerce for Central Aus tria," with a capital of 250,000 florins, the objects of which are to promote the exportation through that part of the produce of the soil and manufactures of Styria, Ca rynthia, and Carniola ; to make Trieste a depot for Aus trian products ; to sell and place these products either on direct account of the society or by commission for the proprietors and merchants ; to make advances at interest on consignments, and to facilitate the import into Austria of all improvements, mechanical or otherwise, which may be useful to industry and manufactures. For this purpose branches are to be established at Gratz and other places under proper directors, and correspondences opened abroad. From the great success which has attended the steam navigation and other joint-stock undertakings, and the generally prudent and economical management which has characterised them in Austria, it is hot impossible that the present enterprise may be made to answer the ex pectations of its projectors ; at the same time it should be remembered that the experience hitherto of common mer cantile operations conducted through the complicated and rather expensive machinery of a joint-stock concern, with its variety of boards and chiefs, has been anything but favourable in the main. The failure of the great Rhenish company commenced a few years ago in Western Prussia with the same views and a much larger capital, is still fresh in the minds of the people. Their distant speculations and consignments ended in ruinous loss, occasioned in many instances by the dishonesty of agents over whom, when at a distance, no adequate control could be exercised. But, whatever be the fate of the Austrian Company as a spe culation for profitable investment, it can hardly fail to prove of considerable advantage to the rising manufactures of the country, which, in hardware, cottons, &c., are already of national importance. The observations made some days since respecting the abundance of money for all useful purposes in Belgium, and therefore the absurdity of schemes for the introduction of more from abroad, or for the crea tion of an unnecessary mass of paper values as a profitable speculation, appear fully borne out by the fact of the ease with which projects are got up in that country, and capital subscribed to them. From the first of January, 1833, to last October, no less than 118 companies have been formed there, whose shares represent a capital stock of 391,000,000 f., or nearly 16,000,0001. These societies are for all kinds of objects, from banks and life assurance, down cotton works, oil-making, and theatres. Relatively with the population more public companies have been started and established in Belgium than in France within the same pe riod of time. POST.—The accounts from Canada are by many per sons considered too vague and general to create any very serious apprehension of the consequences being immediately dangerous, but it is easy to perceive that there is no small portion of affectation in this indifference by the universal interest taken in scrutinising and halaneing all the hearings of the matter. It is admitted by all parties without quali fication that no reliance is to be placed upon the power of t, .• e pr the United States Central Government toeven terference of the bands of ruffians that are known at hovering on the Canadian frontier, and there fore tbat _.(15 preservation of these important colonies exclu sively de n , upon our own arm. At the same time it is paletitia pitted in every countenance that little confidence Is l a & the prudence and promptitude of her Majesty' s Preaend of visers for devising means to prevent the dismemberine" the empire should a premature explosion take Plac e :d e The accounts from Canada l.ad comparati vel y ii 7te of fi uence on the value of Consols, but in the present s-narulr the market nothing short of the certainty of an °P Lure will hive any very material influence on prices. 0 HERALD.—The commercial advices which have, be:o received to-day from New York mention that botraole‘,s, brisk, ana rather extended in amount. A change' tor ever, had taken place in the Money Market, arisingcl94, the recent large exp,:rtations of bullion from Ne ri naf ig which appears rather to Lave alarmed the spe ei Ll3 3l banks, and it seems that the on Europe, bY t h e 13 31 ' two or three arrivals, have done much towards abs°' so cab a large amount of bullion at New York. It is al beep culated that about one million of specie had latebr Weir remitted to Europe, half a million to the British to re' India colonies, whilst about 600,000 dollars had bee„n mitted to Charleston, on account of Mr. Biddle f l s bio General Hamilton's bank. These operations, co n j eja oo el tended to absorb much of the specie afloat in the tress Market, whilst the operations also of the United State Loeb sury, to which we referred last evening, have also reale'', to this disarrangement. There had been considerabigeotei tuation in the Stocks ; the shares of the Unit eri ,,ge Do Bank bad receded from 124 a 1201, and the ev h 7fes' London had advanced to 109 i a 110. Altogether "„010' fairs of the United States, so far as regards tile Do monetary system of the Government, present but otle form system of juggle and political hocus-pocus. 0° From Canada we regret to remark that from the P r ' advices we have nothing favourable to report. b Cape Papers have been received here to the -,sgter, September, from which it appears that the colony via ;; o ' rally tranquil.
